FIND: John Michael Montgomery Lyrics Life's A Dance Lyrics (Allen Shamblin/Steve Seskin) When I was fourteen I was falling fast For a blue eyed girl in my homeroom class Trying to find the courage to ask her out Was like trying to get oil from a waterspout What she would have said I can't say I never did ask and she moved away But I learned something from my blue eyed girl Sink or swim you gotta give it a whirl Life's a dance you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry about what you don't know Life's a dance you learn as you go The longer I live the more I believe You do have to give if you wanna recieve There's a time to listen, a time to talk And you might have to crawl even after you walk Had sure things blow up in my face Seen the longshot, win the race Been knocked down by the slamming door Picked myself up and came back for more Life's a dance you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry about what you don't know Life's a dance you learn as you go Life's a dance you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry about what you don't know Life's a dance you learn as you go Life's a dance you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry about what you don't know Life's a dance you learn as you go Life's a dance Life's a dance Life's a dance Take a chance on love Life's a dance You learn as you go Caption: This song has been a favorite of mine since I heard it. I think the part that caught my attention is the chorus, ¿Life's a dance you learn as you go Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow Don't worry about what you don't know Life's a dance you learn as you go I think this is so true. So many people do worry about what they don¿t know and as a result, they let fear control how they live their lives. This song supports the theory of just going after things without hesitation. I was also captivated by the lines, ¿The longer I live the more I believe You do have to give if you wanna recieve There's a time to listen, a time to talk And you might have to crawl even after you walk Had sure things blow up in my face Seen the longshot, win the race Been knocked down by the slamming door Picked myself up and came back for more.¿ CAPTION: Going with the flow and spontaneous living is the central theme. To me, this struck very close to home. I appreciate all types of music for all different reasons, but this song is a favorite because of the lyrics. This song talks about distractions and pitfalls of life as "being knocked down by the slammin' door" but they also talk of overcoming the adversities and coming back for more. I particularlly like the part about learning to crawl even after you walk. I think this is so important because life does not always go in a particular order like crawling and then walking. Life does not have a blueprint to look at. This song reinforces to me that it is so important to be flexible and non-hesitant in this world.
